PATRIOTWAVES “DARK TOWER”:  This model has been reconfigured and provides two radio receivers in one unit. It utilizes two TCXO (
Temperature Compensated
Crystal
Oscillator)  and
Rafael
Micro R820T2 chipsets.  The two RTL Realtek RTL2832U demodulator
circuits offer superb performance in the emergency frequency ranges.
25Mhz to approximately 1750Mhz.  This unit is designed for use on LINUX,
Windows XP, Vista, 7,8,10 OS’s and includes phone support and online
assistance.
The
main focus of the Dark Tower is for Police, Fire, Military and
Emergency Frequencies can be monitored via this frequency range
spectrum.  It can receive FM and other analog transmissions but also a
variety of digital speech codecs such as P25 phase 1, DMR/MOTOTRBO,
Provoice, NXDN, and X2-TDMA. These are the most common digital systems
used by the government emergency, law enforcement and military
communications.  The Free software programs available can work in AM,
FM, LSB, USB, CW, ECSS and DRM modes.  This offers you the ability to
add a simple inexpensive upconverter and receive additional lower band
shortwave transmissions.
Since 911 FEMA has made an effort to
consolidate and unify emergency services to a shared service known as
APCO Project 25.  The Dark Tower offers two radios in one unit designed for
scanning multiple digital bands. Having the Dark Tower is a great emergency
radio providing two radios in one unit. Great for use with DSDPlus, SDR
Sharp, HDSDR and Unitrunker software.
This is the perfect unit for UNITRUNKER and DSDPLUS DIGITAL TRUNKING FROM CONTROL CHANNEL which requires two radios.
Do you have a P25 Phase II system. All our dual TCXO trunking units will decode Phase 2 using the SDRTRUNK program. You need a good Windows-Linux computer. You should have a Quad core processor, 6GB of RAM or better. Searh Youtube for:
